Birthdays and Friends

Recently I have been going to a lot of birthdays. A few weeks ago I went to my cousin Obed's birthday (if you you know Stars Wars, well it was a Jedi party). We played lots of games like Jedi vs Syth--if the Jedi touches the Syth, the Syth has to go to Syth prison (in the corner of the backyard). At the end of the party we ate cake and we got given certificates with our new Jedi names on them.

Recently, the week after my cousin's party one of my good friends James had his birthday party. He had is at a place out of Melbourne called Rye, which is near the beach. The first day we went to play mini golf at this place called Top Fun. After mini golf we played in this mini games centre where we can win tickets depending on your score then you get to choose a prize from the prize booth using your tickets.

James, my friend Isaac, and I each got a crazy frog which is like a torch (flashlight). My other friend Ben got a packet of Skittles (lollies).  The next day we went to this place called Bonnio Maze and Wetlands. There was a giant hedge maze and also a little toddler's (that was pretty easy). Near the hedge maze there was a grassy area with games like giant chess and checkers.  There was also a hedge maze which we climbed under as well as went over. After that we went to the beach. We kept walking out to sea for ages--on any other beach even the world's tallest man would have drown, but this one went out for ever with no water.
